What Could Cause White Pus Spot On The Back Of Throat?
I have a white pus spot on the back of my throat. Went to the ER Saturday night thinking I had Strep, I was tested and it came up negative. I don't have a sore throat any more. Just a slight headache. What could be causing this pus spot to be there and how long will it last?

it can result from pharyngitis. keep doing betadine gargles if you are fine otherwise take a short course of antibiotics.
